Meet Victoria

I have been busy lately trying to finish up all of the pieces I have started. Victoria is finished and ready for her debut, but first let me tell you how the idea for Victoria came about.
On August 31 my friend Kinga Nichols at Crimson Frog Designs had a giveaway. Kinga was giving away these beautiful boro glass beads by Sharayah Sheldon a friend of hers.

Aren't these just gorgeous

I did not get around to making a post on Wednesday, but this is what I was going to show on my bead table

Victoria in the making...

I finished Victoria today I started to ensemble her in the way that I have done other spiral necklaces, but then changed my mind (actually my Mom helped me change my mind). Here is Victoria!

She is a bit Asymmetrical

I had enough of the boro glass beads and the accent beads to make a bracelet and two pairs of earrings.

I haven't decided on what I'm going to make with the other boro glass beads yet, I just like playing with them and I'm still drooling over them. I still can not believe I was the lucky person that won these beautiful boro glass beads. Thank you again to Kinga and Sharayah.

On another note I was contacted by Vente of Vintage Beads from Europe and asked if I would blog about her Vintage bead online store. Of course I said yes and just the other day I received a package that contained these lovely beads.

I have several ideas of what I want to make with these lovelies. I have one more project to finish and then I can play with the Vintage Beads from Europe! Go visit Vente's on-line store and check out all that she has to offer you just might find something you have been looking for or just can't do without.

Therese, You did an amazing job with those boro beads. I just love your Victoria. And You know how much I love asymmetrical designs, so I love it all the more for how very neatly unusual and so very beautiful it is. The colors are right on too:))

About Me

Hello, my name is Therese and I live in the great state of Alabama. I love to make jewelry in my spare time. I started making jewelry in 2005. I was looking through a beading magazine and saw a necklace that I fell in love with and just had to make, so I did, and I have been hooked ever since. Along with jewelry making I crochet, paint mostly on glass items, make clothes, quilt, counted cross stitch, and a few other crafts. I'm a mother of one, a handsome young man that is all grown up and on his own.
